[mapserver-users] query in ms 3.5

[Yu-Hsin Chen]

Frank:

Looks like you're experiencing the 3.3->3.5 syndrome I had before.

'QUERY' object no longer exists in 3.5.  Instead, you'd put your
TEMPLATE statement in your CLASS object. So the block of code in your
.map file changes from:

    CLASS
      NAME "County Roads 2001"
      COLOR 200 125 25
    END
 
    QUERY
      TEMPLATE "county_rds2001.html"
    END

to:

    CLASS
      NAME "County Roads 2001"
      COLOR 200 125 25
      TEMPLATE "county_rds2001.html"
    END

If you had HEADER and FOOTER tags they can stay where they are.

You shouldn't need the line for 'QUERYITEM'.

With the step from 3.4 to 3.5 the query concept has changed. The 
TEMPLATE tag has moved from the QUERY to the CLASS object
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/mapserver-FAQ.html#d41e38)

QUERYITEM is a tag from 3.3, not used any more.

Regards,

        Frank
